Here’s the synopsis from Sundance: “Frustrated by scrolling dating apps only to end up on lame, tedious dates, Noa takes a chance by giving her number to the awkwardly charming Steve after a produce-section meet-cute at the grocery store. During a subsequent date at a local bar, sassy banter gives way to a chemistry-laden hookup, and a smitten Noa dares to hope that she might have actually found a real connection with the dashing cosmetic surgeon....

Jessica Edwards’ kaleidoscopic “Skate Dreams” isn’t strictly about Knoop’s role in building her sub-culture, but every one of the fraying threads that form this wild and woolly documentary unspools from the same idea: Even trailblazers and badasses need to be able to see themselves in the world before they can change it. “If you visualize it for yourself,” says another of Edwards’ nearly two dozen subjects, “your brain makes it seem like you can do it....

As McDormand, McKinnon nailed the jaw jutting and unblinking stare of the Oscar-winning actress-producer. “I’m here to buy, um, more gray sack dresses,” she said. “So, uh… what is this?

Host: Selena Gomez Selena Gomez’s monologue was quite charming, and by the end she had the live audience eating out the palm of her hand as she sang the “Barney” theme song. Seriously. She even bust out a solid Miley Cyrus impression, making for the first of two great “accent” moments in the episode from her. (The other was in “Irish Play.”) Then after revealing the advice she got from her legendary co-stars and friends Steve Martin and Martin Short, Gomez set out to do what all “SNL” cast members hope the host will do: She tried to find romance....

The thought-provoking seven-part anthology series will “explore the deeper meaning of human connection through the lens of the individual,” according to Deadline. “‘Solos’ will tell unique character-driven stories, each from a different perspective and moment in time, that illuminate that even during our most seemingly isolated moments, in the most disparate of circumstances, we are all connected through the human experience.” Related ‘Riches’ Imagines a ‘Succession’ Scenario Where Big Business Is Good Mark Burnett Exits MGM Worldwide Television Related Guillermo del Toro’s Favorite Movies: 45 Films the Director Wants You to See Martin Scorsese’s Favorite Movies: 53 Films the Director Wants You to SeeEach 30-minute episode will blend theatrical elements with science fiction, with these accomplished actors digging into their respective monologues....

It’s a show “where things happen in the cracks between what stories normally focus on,” co-creator Paul Thureen told IndieWire.
